Rocky Dawuni, Tony Succar, Wouter Kellerman & Matt B
For Your GRAMMY Consideration
“Best Global Music Performance”
“THEY KNOW” is a fiery and revolutionary global fusion of Afrobeats, Salsa, Jazz and R&B.
This unique blend was birthed from an epic collaboration between 4x GRAMMY Nominated
Ghanaian musician and activist Rocky Dawuni alongside multilple GRAMMY winning artists
– South African flautist Wouter Kellerman, American Afro R&B singer Matt B and
Peruvian / American music luminary Tony Succar. With their diverse cultural and
musical backgrounds, the four artists have forged an irresistible new sound and dance
floor classic. The groove driven anthem seamlessly blends Latin Jazz, Reggae, Salsa,
Afrobeats, Jazz and R&B elements into a fresh new global sonic experience.
“They Know” lyrically echoes the journey of perseverance, highlighting the reward
of tireless dedication to one’s craft in the face of everyday challenges. The celebratory
chorus, sung in West African Pidgin English, reflects the mantra that hard work and
personal effort bears fruit. Through faith and the willingness to overcome, anyone is
able to conquer self-doubt and the adversities of life.
“They Know” serves as a symbol of cross-cultural unification. During an era when
the world has been darkened by strife and division, these four artists have come
together for a common purpose: cultural unity.
